This Meerkat family were such fun to watch with the little ones all taking their turn to suckle, sleep and wait in line! The one at the back is obviously having trouble waiting by the expression on his face!!

These are one of my favourite small animals and such characters!

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

I like how each meerkat has a different expression and is doing something different from the others. Good capture of the interaction.

Very nice! A good behaviour image. About all this needs is just enough fill flash to pull the mother's eye out of the black mask on her face.

I love the personalities captured here, Carol. The little one in the back looks how I feel when I have to wait for anything. :)

What a lot of fur this image is. Great catch on all the interaction going on.

I also like how they're all doing something different. Sort of "a day in the life of a meerkat" all in one image! :lol: Very cute.

Looks like it was "take a number" time for them. Excellent shot showing each with a different behavior. You did a great job with this one....you're doing great.....keep it up.
